: them small enough to penetrate the dead skin layer and carry across
: the henna dye.

I don't think they're carrying it across (judging by a couple of
experiments we did with Eliz R )... I think they're simply helping get
more Lawsone into solution. I"m basing that on tests of "how long do
you wait after terping". Every hour after terping (up to a point) we
waited to apply the paste ... the darker the stain. And ... if we put
the paste on, then dabbed terp on that .... nada. If we put terp on
with paste just removed ... nada. If we put terp on skin, then
applied paste ... nada. So .... from that I'd say the terp is getting
more Lawsone into solution, available to cross into the skin.

I always liked Red Dwarf because when my son was 16 he was a dead
ringer for Lister. Appearance, locks, tidy housekeeping and hygiene
habits and all. (10 years later, he is very different)
